Managing the Modern Workplace: Enhancing your Team's Wellbeing by...Knowing the Role of Wellbeing

Part of Managing the Modern Workplace: Enhancing your Team's Wellbeing by... series:

Course overview

There is a significant increase in the number of individuals struggling to function at work due to a self-reported worsening of their mental health and wellbeing (including anxiety, stress and depression). It is therefore essential that we take the time to acknowledge the impact that this is having on individuals and the workplace.

Employees having poor mental health costs British businesses an estimated £28.3 billion per annum. In addition, studies have revealed that 460,000 people transition from work to sickness and disability benefits a year, which costs employers £9 billion a year.

An individual’s wellbeing and the ‘culture of wellbeing’ in the organisation cannot be nurtured through light-touch tokenistic gestures, but through establishing a culture of active listening that extends from a position of wanting to understand how genuine support can be effectively provided. This includes not only listening to others but also to our own mental health and wellbeing needs.

This exciting FREE lunchtime session will:

• Discuss definitions of wellbeing, acknowledging that it has many different components
• Detail what each of these components are and the need to understand the symbiotic significance of each component
• Draw on neurological evidence to examine the signs of declining wellbeing and explain the related negative outcomes to the individual and the workplace
• Address ways in which this deterioration in individuals and organisations can be prevented and consider ways, with examples, in which overall wellness can be improved
• Detail why this wellbeing is key to both personal and professional success, as well as individual and organisational growth
